Changing my Username?

Is there a way to change my username?

My husband and I are going to start selling animals, and were going to do it through a different name that encompasses our "whole reptile business", instead of just my personal online alias.

Is there a way to do so that way, instead of posting under "Riyeko" it can be something else??

Any ideas would be nice and welcome.

BTW im still asleep in the head and on crappy internet, so if there is a way that someone can do it themselves through the UserCP, I just have honestly not looked or messed with it since it usually takes 15 minutes for a page to load... and im not in the mood to do that with something of this matter.

Anyway, thanks in advance!

I believe you must be a contributing member to change your name.

Yes, the option of changing usenames is available to paid members (only). It is a change that has to be done by WebSlave, contact him via PM.
Also, if your husband is going to participate here - even if only to post an occasional ad - he will have to register & use his own account.

Yes, that is correct.

It is one of the perks I offer for paid memberships, and honestly, I DO have to offer something to try to entice members into becoming paying members.

And yes, I know some people will simply try to create a new registration with the desired new name they want, but when I see them, I just block the registration. Otherwise what would be the point of my requirement concerning paid memberships? And honestly, I have had some people try to register their new name several times in that manner, and I had to just put my foot down and BAN that new member name they wanted. I guess maybe they thought they were being cute about it. So now they CAN'T use that name at all here.

And yes, there have been times when some people got by with registering their new member name in this manner that I didn't catch at registration. Well, when that happens, and I find out about it, I just merge the new account back into their old account and delete that new member name.

Not trying to be harsh about this, but I've got to make ends meet too.
